FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS AND STRATEGY:<br />
MEDIUM-TERM BUSINESS PLAN<br />
Our approach to route planning will be to rebuild our network<br />
in profit-oriented fashion, modifying or eliminating unprofitable<br />
routes and reallocating resources to profitable, fast-growing<br />
routes. On the service front, we will raise passenger amenity<br />
quality by rolling out our Shell Flat Seats on more routes to<br />
Europe and North America, as well as long-haul overnight<br />
routes to Asia. We will design and implement new in-flight<br />
dining services that respond to our customers’ requirements,<br />
breaking away from past service styles if need be. These supply,<br />
product, and marketing strategies, designed to reflect the<br />
increasingly diverse needs of our customers, and executed<br />
in unison, will bring the business back to profitability in fiscal<br />
2006.<br />
Offering in-flight Internet connection<br />
service<br />
<strong>JAL</strong> SkyOnline, our in-flight Internet connection<br />
service available in all classes, was introduced on<br />
our Tokyo–London route in December 2004 and our<br />
Tokyo–New York route in May <strong>2005</strong>. This service<br />
employs a dedicated satellite circuit to allow customers<br />
to access the Internet conveniently in-flight<br />
from their wireless-equipped laptops. Provided by<br />
Connexion by Boeing, a business unit of Boeing,<br />
the service will be rolled out in stages, primarily on<br />
European and North American routes.<br />
